Isn't it funny how the libs will whine forever about the surveillance of terrorists and then forget the Echelon program- initiated under CLinton- that looks at every form of electric communication by EVERYONE CONSTANTLY

Typical hyprocrisy

>>>The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is only for specific limited circumstances, and is not being suspended within the US for its citizens<<<


Actually it can apply to a US citizen which is what many have a problem with. If a US citizen is wrongfully arrested and accused of being an alien enemy combatant, how's he going to prove he's not when the suspension prevents him from questioning his detention?

I believe your argument here is that this is unlikely to happen which means there's still a possibility which also means it can apply to US citizens. And you're ok with that.



>>>I believe the VP lost his senses. Not only is the argument rather vapid, but it is totally unnecessary<<<


You think he lost his senses and kept losing his senses for months and weeks? And the lawyers involved in arguing his point, you think they were asked if this was sensible or were they asked to find a way to argue for its sensibility?
